i dont consider naruto as a tv show
i consider as...hypnotising a child's minds....with that ridiculous hand things

[Wlck742]

uhh, Naruto's one of the gayest beings to walk the planet. A f**king ninja that does magic or something ( don't really know about it)? WTF??????

[Wlck742]

I don't like manga/anime much anyway. My fav cartoon was probably South Park. It's not anime, but it rocks, or maybe cuz it's not anime. Hail to the Chef!

[Dreadnought]

BAH! Down with Manga + Anime + Nintendo + Sony + High Templar!
(High Templar FTW [If your Protoss] High Templar FTL [If your Zerg]

[PowerkickasS]

lol terrangod your statement/action tells me sooooooooooo much about you :P

im too scared to get into the naruto series. it has claimed the lives and minds of many.....XD

[zeratul11]

bleach is way better. bankai!

[PowerkickasS]

have you seen the whole series? which episode do you finally get to see aizen again? i stopped after the bounto fillers began -.-

[zeratul11]

nah, actually im on the bounty seires right now. im currently downloading season 4 which is from episode 75 to 97. (75 is still about the bounty)

yah i dont like the bounty story in bleach. why can't ichigo and his friends use their full powers against this bounty like when they were in soul society fighting the captains etc. are they weaker in the real world? yah, i want to see aizen,gin and blind man again. maybe we'll see them in bleach season 5. omg! long way to go. anyway i think ichigi and friends will fight strong bounty starting from season 4.

hey, whos you fave character? captain? i like bleach because of the characters, and there is so many too choose from. i zenpachi, hasugaya, byakuya, renji, i like them all. hahah.

[PowerkickasS]

why do they suck? well how else would you make a filler? a season of them kicking ass non-stop!?

zenpachi's my fave. but unfortunately i didnt like bleach very much =/ i only watched it cause people made me lol. though the aizen twist was definitely one of the best twists ive seen in an anime

[Patuljak]

I've watched all the existing episodes of Bleach. I didn't like the bount arc very much, but it was just an anime filler to let the manga get on. But the bount arc is kinda cool in the end too. After that, the quality of animations get sloppier and there's too much fillers, so I don't like Bleach as much as I did in the past. The soul society arc is the best in the whole anime, but the last season features some cool fights with the arrancar and I read some manga (it's ahead of the anime) and they get even more exciting. I just hope the anime won't mess it up.

[UchihaItachi0129]

nooo they suck because in soul society there are spirit particles everywhere it itself is 100% made out of spirit particles and that's why they were powerful. later if you haven't finished watching the bount arch you'l see also the bount get super powerful in soul society.

dude naruto doesnt suck. you probably just watch the stupid dubbed version. eww english voices >< dude switch to subbed or read the subbed manga. all the dubbed stuff suck. so pathetic had to go steal a anime/manga series. in fact i dont even know any english anime/manga series. but my friend probably does. she reads manga and watches anime like 24/7. but the point is. if you think naruto sucks just dont watch it. you dont have to go about making a thread. that'll just cause fluctuation in your power level.

[TerranGod]

nope
naruto sucks
thats it
i dont care if its dubbed or not
naruto with that sick minded naked women thing

and hypnotizing little kids with stupid hand motions
when i see that, i really want to punch them in annoyence

[UchihaItachi0129]

.... you obiviously havent seen shippuden

[Lemonparty]

I hate animes, do they suck? No. You're close-minded.

[TerranGod]

no..its just naruto i hate
its corrupting all the little kid's minds

[UchihaItachi0129]

how so?

[TerranGod]

because

i have my own secret reason

[zeratul11]

when i see that, i really want to punch them in annoyence


lol

naruto is fine. but i think its not suited for mature anime fans. naruto have more young viewers watching it, but if your above like 20 and love naruto to death then there must be something wrong.

shipuden, so are they more mature now? i mean the anime itself? ::)

omg. spoilers on bleach. im still downloading season 4 episode 75 to 97 right now.

so who wins naruto or bleach. ichigo vs naruto? rasengan or bankai? jk. ;D

[UchihaItachi0129]

ichigo fails at life. he sucks so bad. dude i mean 11 seconds with his mask that's just noob. so what he can hold it longer now. i still dont even think it's a day. i dont even think it's more than an hour. on the other hand. naruto is one of the most power characters in his series. unlike ichigo. one of the above average characters.

[TerranGod]

ok you guys go discuss about naruto and bleach
ima go do something else....

[UchihaItachi0129]

says the guy who greated the thread. backing down on the whole naruto sucks idea eh? :P

[TerranGod]

i spend way too much time in starcraft2forum these days
anyway
i hate naruto because its stupid in my opinion

[UchihaItachi0129]

:P

[TerranGod]

this thread is like...dead now...

[josh]

i don't really like nruto or bleach or any anime that exceeds 200+ eps. the story just gets confusing.

[naduo]

Naruto truly does suck, i like bleach better.
the whole ninja with magic and demon stuff is crap, is just way off.

[josh]

naruto has the wrong notion on ninjas. ninjas does not fight face to face. they do stealth kills and ninjas don't make those hand gestures. the only extraordinary thing that ninjas have is their strong sense of feeling (sorry. i forgot the right term.)

[DontHate]

i hate most anime, but i do like some...
death note, inuyasha(a little), and yu yu hakusho.

[MarineCorp]

Naruto Shippuden sucks
The old naruto was way better than shippuden
Claymore
Bleach
One Piece!! (no one mentioned this yet!!)
Death Note are so much better than Naruto

[josh]

i like detective conan the most coz its very educational. really.

[hillzagold]

i liked naruto way back in the zabuza arc. it all turned to crap pretty quickly afterwards.

hajime no ippo in better on so many levels
one piece is so-so
bleach is decent
i happened to like hikaru no go
half an episode of trigun is better then all of naruto
FMA was good
naruto is a giant pile of steaming dog turd

[Itsmyship]

I pretty much hate anime as a whole, so I can't really comment on this. Sorry if this was a useless post :-\

[ImaGiNe.]

Why are you guys bashing on an anime that is setting itself a part from the rest by being different. There are no rules and boundaries for what anime's and their creators are limited to and they definitely should not be limited by reality. Who cares if they form those hand seals? Who cares if they fight face to face, mono e mono?

I have to say that I read the manga -- I do not like the anime very much, but I have a few words of wisdom for those who do watch it. Watch only the Japanese sub-titled episodes as the American dubbed ones sound ridiculous. BELIEVE IT! -- and it is very encroaching. Yes. Encroaching! But I will not go as far as to be a "narutard" or whatever terms are used to describe people who wear those headbands and jackets and other accessories.

[Itsmyship]

Ok yeah....THOSE types of ppl annoy the hell out of me Imagine.

Yeah, I just dislike anime and manga altogether...always the same crap and eventually run out of ideas and end up going to fillers, especially in anime. Plus I HATE drawing manga....just seems almost pointless; I prefer more realistic things, like right now I'm working on copying the one concept art of Mengsk with a ghost in the backround.

I understand and I am not pile driving you for what you like and dislike, it is your personal preference and I respect that. I got into anime and manga because I have a lot of Japanese friends where I am at and we were all in GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) art programs for our drawing skills. I adopted the anime style because it was a lot easier to draw then a realist portrait, though I did break away from it and drawing all together in middle school... something I regret... But now I have gotten back into art and have been doing some realistic work but I like both styles any way.

[Itsmyship]

I understand that. I personally like more realistic stuff because its challenging and involves a lot more shading and body placement...whereas manga eyes take up 3/4 of the body and the backround :P

And I'm not saying its bad or anything, I'm just saying I dislike it a lot. If other ppl like it, its cool, but once you start wearing Naruto headbands and jackets everywhere you go...then I start to dislike you.

TMNT, for instance, is done well. naruto is a giant piece of crap.

the anime is only so-so, even as japanese subbed. the manga isn't that good either, with the exception of a few arcs.

http://www.classicmanga.com/20thcenturyboys/characters_by_timeline.html
i can see how you'd think that, alot of anime and manga is like that, but not all of it.

[Arachanox]

Well, I used to be a deathly loyal servant to the English Naruto Anime. Then I realized that it existed in Japanese format on the intraweb. So then the english sucked in comparison. Then I realized that the story existed in manga format on the intraweb as well. Then the Japanese anime wasn't as shiny anymore. Then Shippuden was realized, and now I don't like the Japanese anime at all. And to top it all off, the manga has gone south with its current 'UberSasuke' arc, so I'm not liking it that much either.

Was 10/10. Now 3/10.

[JBL]

What is Naruto?

Could someone explain to me what it is in some simple sentences that i could understand even if i don't know what that kind of stuf is?

[Itsmyship]

Long story short: Yellow haired ninja boy has a demon inside him, he wants to be leader of city/town/whatever but everyone thinks he's a douche and won't amount to anything and the whole series is devoted to him showing he has worth even though he is the host of a demon fox. While at the same time, has friend/enemy who is pissed off because his brother killed his clan and ends up going to the dark side to seek his revenge :)

[Arachanox]

and ends up going to the dark side to seek his revenge :)

And subsequently gets powers so amazingly defiant of the laws of a manga, he can survive explosions that obliterated everything in a ten kilometer radius. I can't stand that emo-kid's resistance to his own death. It's why the manga is heading south.

because if they don't base it on the real thing, that would be a different thing. if the creators chose to let them fight face to face and make those hand signals, they should not be called ninjas because their personality and fighting styles does not match those of the real ninjas.

[Arachanox]

Explain how two ninja would stealhily dispatch of each other without the two knowing that the other was there. Kind of a pardox, eh?

[JBL]

Ohh now I know a bit more of what it's all about.

[hillzagold]

Everyone is bashing poor naruto.... he's great! If you ignore filler episodes, it's a good anime, stop bagging it!
wrong, if you ignore everything after episode 30, then it's good. chunin exam was crap, the part with jariya was below average, and everything after that was retarded and horrible


Explain how two ninja would stealhily dispatch of each other without the two knowing that the other was there. Kind of a pardox, eh?
you exagerate too much. two ninja in the dead of night using silent and deadly moves on each other. instead of spending 5 minutes explaning a move before you use it, the ninjas would explain to their employers how they won, after the fight.

[Ensomgrav]

BELIEVE IT!

[Snubble]

Well I just wanted to post a link to a website I found if anyone is interested in some of the animes they are talking about in this thread. Youtube keeps deleting anime due to copyright shananagens so this is a nice alternative.

http://www.narutowow.com

It has all the Bleach and Naruto Episodes released to date. Theres also Eureka 7, Full Metal, Samurai Champloo and some others in there.

There are definitely some better written animes out there then Naruto, but its still a pretty entertaining series.

[Ensomgrav]

www.crunchyroll.com is good too .

[Darth_Bane]

Sigh poor naruto I like him. and yes I am going to say, this Garaa kicks total ass! I don't like Susuke at all however and I hope he dies like the fourth did. Selling his soul and still losing. Why does everyone bash on Naruto BASH ON THAT STUPID BO-BO BO BO-BO-BO SHOW! OMFG I HATE THAT SHOW! DIE BO BO-BO-BO DIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!! So please every time you bash on Naruto your mother is killed by karma and then cloned again waiting for you to bash on Naruto then comes your Dad. Why does god have to be so cruel to Naruto bashers? (thats why Naruto kicks ass!)

[BnechbReaker]

Bleach is much bettter

[Ursawarrior]

Yes i hate naruto
flame shields on


narutards are what ihate the most


yea, i agree, i prefer full metal alchemist anytime

[terranupmyheart]

i still watch it, just for the fact that im waiting to see naruto do some real damage and whip out some crazy move

[EonMaster]

I like naruto, I watch the new shippuden episodes ever week online. The anime is great except for the filler empire that started after sasuke left......idiot. DARN THE FILLER EMPIRE, YOU WIN AGAIN!

I wonder what happened that the naruto show didn't air last week, and took them forever to air the last one, even if it was an hour special.

When it comes to anime, we American's are royaly boned. The english naruto is 2 years behind its Japaness counterpart, wtf American censors. I also hate the fact that censors ruin all the good stuff found in anime shows, they ruin the whole episode by airing out all the violence and swearing. How is that fun?!?!

[KuraiKozo]

I like Naruto. True, it's unrealistic, what with ninjas in orange jumpsuits and kids running aroudn screaming "omfg i'm teh 1337 awesome", but the show has a good plot and I, personally, like the insanity. It's good to see variety, and I suppose that's really what naruto is. Bunch of kids runnign around fighting older, creepeir ninjas with the obsession to kill/maim/torture their way to the lead. Yet, there are [obviously] better anime shows than Naruto. Bleach, for example, is pretty well rounded. Death Gods are cool. Haarvesting souls, killing evil spirits and invading a pompous society of people who think you are just a rouge deathgod=win. But, let us not forget the fillers [that's why i stopped watching...even though Bleach fillers are far superior to naruto fillers]. The best anime I have seen is Deathnote. wheras Bleach and Naruto center around kickign around foes with ungodly, at-the-las-minute-obtained powers, deathnote is skill and intelligence. Still, don't get me wrong. I AM a narutard.

[Patuljak]

Bleach is a cool show, but I can never shake the feeling that it could be MUCH better if it was made in a darker, more serious tone. And everytime I rewatch any of the Soul Society rescue arc episodes I start wondering why the hell do they need such a big city for a couple of death gods that you see. Not to mention that it's full of contradictions.
It's still cool to watch though ;D

Yeah, death note is a really good anime. I got tired of it after the first season though (when Light manages to kill off L) because the plot got kind of stupid. But the first season was simply amazing.

[KuraiKozo]

^-^ I liked the last episode of Deathnote. I though Light was cool, though he was seriosuly acting weird when he got the deathnote. Still, i wanted him to win...

Yes, Bleach needed to get a bit deeper. The problem with Bleach and Naruto is that that both ichigo and naruto gain powers at the moment they need it, like DBZ. not that anything is wrong with DBZ, only that thqat kind of plot has already been introuduced, and it showed tht even loyal DB fans will stop watchign because of the series being redundant.

[Meee]

Could you two mark the event from Death Note as a SPOILER? 'cause it's a big one and someone might be pissed off if they saw it in your posts.

I watched few episodes and read whole manga (pretty much the same thing), It was awesome the first season, didn't like second one so much. And the ending...weird, might've been much better imo, but I guess the stress acumulated over the years got the best of him ;D

[Ursawarrior]

full metal alchemist over naruto anytime

KK, i'll change that right now. and MAJOR SPOILER FOR DEATHNOTE:
wtf was it with the anime when that crazy guy with the black hair who thought Light was a God stabbign himself? what did he stab himself with!? his own handcufs!? and who bleeds THAT much? D:

[josh]

The problem with Bleach is it has too many episodes. Animes with too many episodes will make the story line confusing and sometimes it will be contradicting to the first episodes. I only prefer watching anime with at most 70 episodes.

[TerranGod]

Death Note was my favorite anime so far
awesome storyline

and i watched the whole series in 2 weeks cause it was too good :)
the ending was awesome
the hallucation of L is watching light die like how L died

death note is basically a novel if you read the manga
if you dont understand it, there's no point of reading it

Justice will prevail!!!!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r156/rayman54/Lawliet.gif

[EonMaster]

Deathnote was great, it was amazing how smart both side where. I still prefer Naruto though because of the awesome battle scenes.

[KuraiKozo]

LO battlesscenes are cool, but I liked the hardcore-ness of two geniueses duking it out. I understnad the series, but I have no money for the manga, so I haven't read it, only watched the episodes. I'm so stunned that they are so genius. I love them. Naruto was cool, but Sasuke ticked me off. Even in the latest mangas he's a jerk. He feels no remorse at all, and for that I hate him. I hope he dies.

[TerranGod]

naruto...if you want fight scenes watch dbz or one piece or something

[EonMaster]

DBZ got very boring since fights took months to finish and they would spend whole episodes staring at eachother, one peice, I just don't like.

Naruto is good in the fact that battles are fast and eventful, without long pauses in the middle of a fight.

[Quanta]

That was true for Naruto but the 100+ fillers in that series is pretty bad. Shippuuden, while still not nearly as bad a dragonball is worse than Naruto about the fights taking so long. I don't think any one fight should last more than 2 episodes. The whole rescue Gara arc just took to long. It was interesting and good but it could have been better if it had been faster.

[EonMaster]

the fillers were terrible and I almost lost interest in the series, but the shippuden episodes have revived the series. The fighting was a little long, but not nearly as bad as DBZ, where it could take 3-4 months to beat one opponent.

[EatMeReturns]

1) read the title. personally, i hate naruto. its too mainstream, and to me, it seems... unintelligent.
2) deathnote is amazing, i only wish i could watch more than once a week, on adult swim... where else can i watch it? (GODDAMNIT I READ THE FIRST POST THAT WASNT LABELED SPOILER AND NOW IM ANGRY AS ****!!!)
3) i stopped watching DBZ when i watched an episode that was one guy yelling for 30 minutes, making a really big energy-sphere-boom-thing... now that i think of it, it reminds me of "ima chargin up my fireball!!1"
4) i enjoy bleach's lack of seriousness, to me it counteracts ghost in the shell, deathnote, and blood+, because i watch all 4 one after another (the only time i can-saturday midnights on adult swim)
5) however, you can't beat blood+. who doesnt want to watch a hot girl with a fetish for blood kill evil beasties?

[i2new@aol.com]

Naruto sucks ballz. Demon Ballz!!!

[EonMaster]

That's your opinion, I find it enjoyable, and much better than dbz and one piece. Mayne its the fact that I like ninjas, and the technigues using chakra adds a nice addition to it.

[Meee]

(GODDAMNIT I READ THE FIRST POST THAT WASNT LABELED SPOILER AND NOW IM ANGRY AS f**k!!!)

See? told ya.

DBZ for fighting scenes? I thought it's good for watching two people staring at each other, or raising their power levels. Even if they were fighting you couldn't see half of it 'cause they were "sooo fast"

Bleach's filler policy is getting irritating. First the Bounto arc, few regular epizodes, few fillers, few episodes, and the last episode is beginning for new series of fillers. Well at least they started not bad, we shall see.

[TerranGod]

then maybe one piece?

one piece was good in my opinion but started sucking after crocodile

the anime went confusing and boring

[EonMaster]

I agree, I lost all interest in the series near the end of the crocodile series.

Naruto is my favorite anime series currently on TV.

[MarineCorp]

Watch the saga after the Crocodile saga, it is awesome! With the Foxy saga is only about 10/15 episodes and the Water7 is longer but still amazing, probably the best saga ever! but the enel saga wasn't really that good....But the saga coming after the Water7 saga is the Geko Moria saga (and he is part of the Shichibukai or something) for he has the largest ship in the world!

note: the Gecko Moria saga is not out in the anime yet so far its in the 20 week fillers which makes it 20 episodes of fillers

[Meee]

One Piece has freakin too many chapters/episodes.

[Fenix]

I still say Hellsing>All

[Meee]

If you like gore so much...
I don't but still Hellsing is cool anyway

[Fenix]

Eh, yeah, it's gory....But the most annoying bit is how imba Alucard is.

[Quanta]

Yes Alucard is very imba. Its not really fun watching him fight because he just mocks the enemy for being so pethetic compared to him. That said, in the anime, not the one still in production, the end fight is better. He gets an opponant that is very challanging for him.

[Fenix]

Incognito? Cause he pwned him at first. That was a cool fight.



Something weird I noticed though.....The dubbed one (One of the few dubs I like) has more censored animation.

[TerranGod]

Watch the saga after the Crocodile saga, it is awesome!


no
it sucked
and confusing which led it boring

and i watched half of the parts right after croco
they go to the sky and yea...

but after that
something happened to robin? i dont really know cause i didnt watch that part
they save her
blah blah blah...
they recruite that cyborg...
trapped in the ice place and their ship flies out...

but i enjoyed watching luffy and ussop beat the crap out of each other
i dont know what episode it was though

[PKZeppelin]

DBZ rulez, I've watched all the series when i was a kid. What the... is Naruto? Another playing cards fighting anime? DBZ had a story, very interesting story. Those new anime very sucks, imho, I tried t o watch some, but they are weird, nothing except fighting and lighting effects. Cheap.

[TerranGod]

dbz was awesome!
gt wasnt as good

the only critizm (i dunno how to spell) is that they take too long charging up their chi

[EatMeReturns]

:( nobody here has seen Blood+? its amazing!

[Meee]

dbz story?
1. There are seven dragonballs if you gather them all your wish will be granted
2. Super powerfull enemy appears and beats the crap outta good guys, they train and beat it back. New enemy appears, repeat.
Even Naruto has better story with whole that Akatsuki thing.
And for really decent one I recommend Death Note or Full Metal Alchemist MANGA. Anyone reading this? Learning the true origins of Amestris (or w/e their country was called) was real jaw-floor experience ;D

[TerranGod]

hmm
wat about one piece

but naruto makes ninjas look stupid and ridiculous when they are supposed to be feared assassins

and dont forget, there are narutards

[Meee]

From what I've seen of One Piece the story isn't that bad (imo). The last I remember they met the clown guy again on some island and left for the Grand Line (after mermaid arc).
It's just soo long, I don't have time for this now.

I didn't say Naruto's story is actually good ;) As for ninjas hmm... I'd say it's like Heores of Might & Magic 4.
All nice and shiny with some added neat features, but it's just not 'Heroes' game anymore.

[Fenix]

Kakashi's cool. That's about it.


This is why.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSgdwGlLi8

[EonMaster]

Horra for kakashi's excellent fighting style and coolness; and for obito's sharingan eye he has!

[TerranGod]

Horra for luffy's excellent fighting style and coolness; and for the rubber power he has!

[Meee]

Luffy's not cool at all...

[EonMaster]

And the rubber power makes him uber powerful.

As least in naruto, they barely win fights. They also get pretty beat up in them, thus the many hospital scenes.

[TerranGod]

isnt that boring?

thats even worse than waiting for goku to charge up to ssj3 in dragonballz!

[EonMaster]

Isn't what boring?

The fact that they barely win?
Because that makes it much more interesting than ather fighting series that have huge advantages over the bad guys. Naruto is great for watching people with the same fighting levels go at each other.

[ShdwyTemplar]

Trigun is better enough said. Well actually "Danke, Danke." 8)

[EonMaster]

Trigun is good, I like how his emotions and voice goes from mature to sounding like a little kid in less than a second; that's what makes the series so much fun to watch.

[MarineCorp]

And the rubber power makes him uber powerful.
I'm sorry but you are wrong, it's luffy's physical strength that makes him strong and he does not rely on his devil fruit much and its not his devil fruit that makes him strong but this person called Marshal D. Teach has the most evil devil fruit ever and could steal Whitebeard's title of 'The Strongest man in the World'
and basically there are 3 groups that are in control of the age of the pirates (not actually in control of them but like most feared....you know) which are:
The four emperors
The Shichibukai (or something)
The Government
And not only that they are interrupted (not exactly interrupted but being aware of...you know) by the Straw Hat Crew, slowly wiping out the whole Shichibukai and some high level groups of the Government which they are being mostly aware of and also being feared........Anymore information? :furious: One Piece is good!

[TerranGod]

oh oh
i want the picture of all the warlords of the see if you can find it
and not the shadow form
the real colored form

and who is the shichibukai and the four emperors

PICS PLEASE

[KuraiKozo]

1.) Blood +: i watched it. It was very good, talking about the Korean war and how this girl is the supposed war machine. The enemies were weird and I hated that fruity guy in the suit with the terribly dubbed french accent. He ticked me off and gave a bad reputation to French people [worse than it was already]. It was nice to see a hero[or rather heroin] who was not God-powerful and had to actually attempt to get good without overwhelmingly powerful abilities. I stopped watching it though, because for a few episodes nothing was happening and I got bored of waiting.

2.) hellsing: it was good, but overall it was criminally short. Only [like 20 was it?] a few episodes. I wish it would have been longer. Sure, Alucard was cool, the coolest, evilest, strongest character. But the guy had the depth of a thimble. I loved him for his callousness, but the series should have been longer. Fighting and action was good. Storyline was short and sweet and to the point.

3.) Deathnote: far superior to any other anime. Had a perfect storyline, great characters, and depth. I think it made it to ocean level. It was easy to follow, and made prefect sense. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was only sad how it ended [sorry for the unlabeled spoiler. i apologize.]

4.) Naruto is very good, in my opinion. It's bad points are naruto being too freaking strong and the large amount of flashbacks that no one wants to see mid-battle. Naruto only has to get terribly emotional and then he turns into an unbeatable fox demon. Sasuke is an angsty brat who is self-centered and heartless. Sakura was useless for the longest time. There were too many freaking fillers. But, I liked where the akatsuki came in. Terribly good and addictive. I'm reading the latest manga right now, and now all the questions are being answered. I'm so excited to find out what happens!!

5.) bleach was also good. It was serious at times, but had plenty of quirks and moodkillers to lighten everything up. Problem is, when they fight the Bounto it got VERY annoying. I was rather killed by how long it took. Orihime's uselessness also angers me. Too much emotion in a fight is also painstaking. Yes, you could die, and your friend could die. But that's why you have to be strong. Angsting and flashbacking will achieve nothing. [i would probably do that in a fight tho...]

6.) DBZ: i loved it. Wish i could afford the uncut DVDs. I can't claimed to have watched the whole thing, but I liked the episodes I saw. the problem is, though, as people pointed out, are the vast amount of fillers. It's maddening really. where Goku is charging up his spirit bomb for 3+ episodes. You get to see the sparklies come off the trees and frogs and brooks...yes, yes, all very nice. But the battle!! what the heck happened!? It was like the creators were having fun laughing at our anticipation. I liked how they were always outbattled, but there came a point when enough was enough. There was a new transformation every freaking time. they came out in a narrow, and heartwarming victory. then somehow everyone always was brought back after a long trail of sorts.
7.) I never watched much of GT. It bored me terribly.

8.) People need to watch Busou Renkin [or arms alchemy] that series was very good. Sure it was only 20-30 episodes, but it was well written. It had about the same dynamics as Bleach, only it was shorter and easier to follow. It was nice and heartwarming, but also had enough fighting and battle to make it not a bad thing. Busou Renkin was very good. A normal kid becoming a hero. I like these kinds of things. He wasn;t all powerful like Goku, or overly reliant on an inner beast's power like Naruto.

9.) Fullmetal alchemist: good, hands down. Good story, good ending, filler's weren;t bad. It was funny, but serious and had it's rich battles and heartwrenching moments. It's one of the best.

Compared to other animes, Naruto is AVERAGE. It's not the best, nor the worst. It has decent fights, a good storyline, [sadly] a plethora of fillers, and string battles. If you;re looking for something new, Naruto really isn;t it. [spoiler] But it's good if you feel the need to see an angsty kid get his butt kicked by a kid in an orange jumpsuit. ;D

[ShdwyTemplar]

Since Trigun is not on that list I feel sad. Naruto isn't a bad anime hands down. There are a good deal of stupid ones out there people. Worrying over a good one is bad for yourself. Worry about the bad ones and the people that read/watch them... ya.

[KuraiKozo]

Oh sorry, I'm going to discuss Trigun now.
Ahem...Trigun was good. I loved how serious but ADD Vash coudl be. Plus the insurance girls were annoyig but also added to the humor. I wanted to watch more, but recently episodes have been gettign deleted from youtubs. and my site i used to watch anime requires me to downlaod the episodes and frankly I don;t have the patience or time for that. Well anyway, the battles were good, the characters were witty and funny. The preist was hilarious, the perfect companion for Vash. My friend told me the ending, [stupid spoiler maker] and i was rather unimpressed.

Inuyasha...alomsot forgot that one, too. It was very good...at first. I watched a few, and it was interesting and rich. Sadly. things got VERY VERY VERY repetative after the second season. Oh teh noeess, naraku is back and is teh ****z and will kill us all unless the jewel shards and...BLAH! Same freakign thing!!! Over and over! made me want to die!!!

I watched a little Ruroni kenshin, but yet agian i was too darn lazy to be bothered with uploading. from what i've seen i love it. It's very calming. Haha, yeah right. So many battles and so much deceit. I find it terribly enjoyable. All the blood, too. It's liek it's own guilty pleasure becasue it's funny and bloody.

I also forgot Trinity Blood. Trinity Blood was VERY good. I hated HATED how it ended on a cliffhanger. It left me sad. I wanted to know If Abel won or not...I hope a season 2 comes out soon. The battles were good, and there storlyine was weaved very well. If there's anything else...any opther anime I've seen and can comment on, I will...

I have advice for what NOT to watch, as well. Tokyo Mew mew. sounds dumb. it is the WORST anime i've ever seen. Don;t watch it. ever. it;'s an insult to anime.

[TerranGod]

7.) I never watched much of GT. It bored me terribly.



yea...i hated dbgt too
kinda stupid with that annoying girl pan following goku and trunks everywhere
but the only part i liked about gt was when the hell split open and you get to see nappa die again

[KuraiKozo]

Yea. I hate Pan. the only girls in the series piss me off.

[PKZeppelin]

[KuraiKozo]

LOL
nice. I'd rather watch Naruto than drink milk anyway. xD

[Meee]

I'd drink milk at my home while watching Naruto, how's that?

[EonMaster]

I'd drink chocolate milk while watching Naruto. Thus developing strong bones so I can leap across buildings and jump off trees without breaking anything.

[Meee]

why would you need chocolate milk for that? You should learn from "ninjas" while you watch 'em

[ijffdrie]

especially true in the avatar series, those movements are from o.a. Shaolin, taiçhi, southern mantis and more

[KuraiKozo]

Yea for a lesson in fuedel and current japanese martial arts styles ^-^

[Darth_Bane]

Guys ninjas already exist! suposedly there is a ninja parade! ITS AMAZING! (even though there has only been one sighting of a ninja and that was several years ago) LETS GO FIND THOSE NINJAS! *drinks chocolate milk to biuld strong bones and ninja skillz*

[Meee]

for any questions why not ask a ninja? (http://askaninja.com/)

[TerranGod]

why not ask chuck norris

[EonMaster]

I don't care about Chuck Norris. Therefore, I refuse to ask him.

[TerranGod]

have you read his facts?
its so messed up...

"Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad"

i mean...wtf???

[ShasOkais]

did you post this because of Jap's Naruto or Cartoon Network's Naruto. I believe Japan did a great job making Naruto but Cartoon Network ruined it with dubbing just like every other anime it destroyed.

[Shadowdragon]

Cartoon Network doesn't do the dubbing I believe.

I'm pretty sure its Viz (not definite), so you've got the wrong guys...

[TerranGod]

its 4kids that did the gay job...

[KuraiKozo]

maybe theis thread shoudl eb changed to "chuck norris is not cool"....

and as for the english series, they will enver be as good as the japanese episodes. It's just better, more natural. Also, you can listen to it for more than 10 min without giving yourself a concussion over the fact naruto says believe it more times in one episode than all the money bill Gates makes in a year.

[EonMaster]

I agree with you kurai, english versions aren't as good as the japanese original. I blame US censors for thier crappy performance.

[KuraiKozo]

boo the US!!!!
wait....

[Hodl pu]

Even if US did a crappy job, I still don't like Naruto much, I don't know why. But I like Bleach and Death Note. (japanese, not english)

[Meee]

Because both Bleach and Death Note are much better?

I didn't watch english Naruto but I believe you'd praise it after watching polish one ;)

[EonMaster]

I like the subbed Naruto, as well as deathnote. I think the only Deathnote I've seen is the American version, but it's actually very good.

[ShasOkais]

same goes to pokemon

[KuraiKozo]

pokemon used to be cool until they started screwing with the voice actors.

[EonMaster]

It wasn;t thier fault. The contract with WB Kids expired and they didn't want to do the voicing for D/P, so they had to find a new cast of actors to play the characters.

[ShasOkais]

they ruined it as soon as they first touched it. lets leave it there

[Shadowdragon]

..pokemon must be the oldest anime ever by now (at least on an international scale).

[Meee]

pokemon oldest, lol

how about Dragon Ball? And that one's far from it either

[TerranGod]

im pretty sure dragon ball is older than pokemon

[Shadowdragon]

Is dragonball still running?

[KuraiKozo]

i think it is. or rather it was a few weeks [months?] ago. regular DB isn't, but DBZ was.

[Shadowdragon]

Yeah, but those are finished. Pokemon is still making new episodes, isn't it?

[KuraiKozo]

yes, but i think they're terrible. BAD. BOO.
The voice acting is terrible and it's just gettign morbidly redundant

[EonMaster]

Bad? No, I still like the new series. I don't watch it much, only when I don't have much else to do and the forum is slow. I like the voice acting, it's not as good as it used to be, but it's not terrible.

Yes it's getting redundant, but don't all shows that run for years become redundant. DBZ is an excellent example: stong enemy comes, fight, win, find dragon balls, stronger enemy comes, fight, win, find dragon balls, stronger enemy comes,...........

[josh]

I don't like 4th generation of pokemon. They look very weird and I think they are not very appealing anymore.

[Inside Sin]

I'M GUNA PUTT MAH FINGAS IN A WEIRD SHEAPE THEN TUCH MAH FORHED.

Hahaha, Naruto is strange.

[ZergPWner]

I agree with the topic starter.

Naruto makers are retards, seriously.

[longlivefenix]

i gotta say im with inside sin with this XD
thats all they do in most anime shows

[KuraiKozo]

I agree with the topic starter.

Naruto makers are retards, seriously.

mind backing that up there?

[EonMaster]

Naruto has never been retarded. Sure the "Filler Empire" section was annoying, but it was still somewhat interesting to watch. The new shippuuden series is just great akatsuki is an excellent enemy with all the different abilities each member can use.

Naruto is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. My the series keep on coming!

[Sync]

Erm, I like Naruto, it has good stories behind it, and I don't know why you'll hate it so much.

[KuraiKozo]

thank you Sync, I believe so, too. Even if parts of it get a little cheesy and redundant.

[Shadowdragon]

It's intresting enough to watch if it's on, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

[Hodl pu]

I gave it a chance because I know a lot of people who are fans of Naruto. It didn't stick with me...
It MIGHT be the fact that I saw loads of people in my highschool wearing those head band thingies. They'd jump over things and say weird attacks.... really annoying. That's ONE thing I don't miss about my highschool.

[KuraiKozo]

Oh, yea, that part pisses me off. All the lunatics who get obsessed with it ruin it for all of us who are normal people who just like it. They take things too far and then it's like they ended up making it seem like a mockery when it's not actually bad.

[josh]

Erm, I like Naruto, it has good stories behind it, and I don't know why you'll hate it so much.


Because it gives wrong information about what ninjas really are.

[Meee]

Just don't think of them as ninjas

[KuraiKozo]

Because it gives wrong information about what ninjas really are.

Eh, it kinda does, but I still like it. They have the right ideas.
1.) ninjas never give up
2.) each ninja has their own style and technique
3.) ninjas fight for what they believe in or who pays them most.
only, the way they go around executing the way of the ninja this is what i find questionable. It's not about a bunch of kids who go through a ninja school. It's just a show, and it's not real obviously. And Meee, it's hard not to think of them as ninjas when Naruto shouts his chorus of "dattebayo [or believe it if you watch the dubbed trash]" and "ninja" and then monolouges about other people aren;t following the ninja ways and how about he will be the greatest ninja ever and such on and so forth.

[Ursawarrior]

lolz....

1.) code of the ninjas: live by honor, kill by STEALTH
2.) no magiccy and other stuff other than the DUMMY LOG trick
3.) ummmmm... ummmm.... im not sure if naruto would go for sakura or the blind girl......
or i think sakura would go for.... ummmm.... the other guy......
4.) fullmetal alchemist is much better :)

[Meee]

questionable is a funny word for that.
take your regular ninja, black outfit, stealth, hiding in shadows, shurikens etc etc
and now take Gaara.
see the difference?

[Ursawarrior]

lawlz, or the fat one...
i only like kakashi, but i barely watch the show

[KuraiKozo]

Yes, clearly I see the difference. I knew, and have known that, for quite some time. Still, I like the idea of a show where anyone, even failures [let's change that to phailure] can be ninjas. I think it'd be very cool, despite they're terrible ninja fashion sense, powerful techniques, and stupid one liners.

[josh]

1.) code of the ninjas: live by honor, kill by STEALTH


That's from Tenchu right?

Although I like the concept of the show, it's original. The bad effect of it, however, is people uses its concept and believes that that's what ninjas do which is wrong.

And forget the fashion sense. Just take note of the fighting styles and techniques. Makes a major difference.

And to top it all, I find the hand thing annoying. :)

[DarkTemplol]

I've never seen the show, but it seems kinda... Well, I wont be negative.

[Hunter]

lol actually I only heard about it too, but I don't want to change this.. No offense, but I just don't want to watch that.

[KuraiKozo]

I understand that point of veiw. it's different to say the least.

[EonMaster]

And to top it all, I find the hand thing annoying. :)


What's wrong with the hand signs? I like how they have to use hand signs to use thier techniques. I think it looks cool that they can do them extremely fast in order to use thier techniques in life and death situations.

[Meee]

Seals are fine, what's weird is shouting the name of every technique. Ninja battlecry? ok....

[demohunto]

i saw a couple episodes of Naruto but i got extremely tired of those annoying chars and almost half of those damn episodes were flash backs trying to get u to cry or at least trying to get u to cry but really cant.

i havent seen Shippuden but for god sakes STOP WITH THE DAMN FLASHBACKS SO ANNOYING!
and actually one episode a guy was taking out the soul out of another guy and it lasted for 5 damn episodes with no action besides a hand inside some dude with legs coming out of him

I really loved the elfen lied series because of its story line alto it did scare the crap out of me sometimes.Warning:This anime contains nudity and EXTREME gore so yah 18+ anime or maybe higher

[josh]

@Eon

The thing that makes it annoying is how I sometimes imitate it as well as some of my friends. LOL.

And usually I suck at it. ;D

[Ursawarrior]

lolz, kagen bushin tech. then LOL

[KuraiKozo]

my friends memorized on of sasuke's fire jutsus. and whenever we have an awkward moment of silence or he gets burned and has no come back, he'd do it, shout the cry, then run off into the halls like a mad man.

as for the battle cries, they might as well shout "you will neer see my new thunder jutsu until i come at you! you won't be able to evade it by steppign back with your right foot! no way you could no to do that! hahahahaha victory is mine!!!" because they're dumb and it gives them away. the stupids.

[Meee]

I only knew lightning edge/chidori, but that's just 3 seals
I'd like to see someone doing suiryuudan ;D

[KuraiKozo]

yeah, like I know them by name. If that's the water dragon, then i agree. xD

[Meee]

yup, the one kakashi did with zabuza, it's got like 50 seals if not more

[KuraiKozo]

I found it ammusing that it was so long. After a while you have a monty python moment and wanna scream "GET ON WITH IT!"
